Skinny Eggnog Pie {With a Gingersnap Crust}

Remember the other day when I made a lightened up version of my favorite holiday drink – eggnog?

Well, before I guzzled the entire pitcher, I saved a little bit out to make this pie. Because what are the holidays, really, without a little bit of indulgence?

I suppose calling this pie “skinny” is a bit of a misnomer, although it certainly has fewer calories than many of the other holiday treats I make this time of year. I mean, considering I love making fudge with sweetened condensed milk and eating nearly the entire batch on my own, a slice of this pie almost seems like negative calories.

If you really want to lighten it up, use low-fat graham crackers for the crust rather than the gingersnap cookies. I just love the pairing of gingersnaps and eggnog, so that’s what I used. And, if you’re looking for a fast holiday dessert, skip making your own crust altogether and use a store-bought one. I won’t tell. 😉

Hey, as much as I love to make things from scratch, sometimes those shortcuts come in handy–especially during the holiday season.

Someone explain to me how it’s less than one month until Christmas. Anyone else in panic mode?

I love that you made this skinny!! I certainly need more of those recipes around this time of year. It sounds fantastic too. Must give this a try when I finally grab some eggnog 🙂Elaine @ Cooking to Perfection recently posted..Grammy’s Creamy Cheesecake

I love eggnog so this pie sounds amazing! At first glance I thought that the cranberries were pomegranate seeds, either way I would love to eat half the pie 🙂Shannon @ Searching For Dessert recently posted..I wanna be a Milky Ways!

Oh, I am so glad you saved some eggnog for this pie! It looks fantastic! And the spicy cookie with the rum flavor works so well together!!! I am all about shortcuts in the kitchen to save time during the holidays:-)Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted..Gingerbread Pudding Cookies
